The Oldest and Best.

1ae SdtbtTudy Evening E0St, OF
Philadelphia, enjoys the proud dis
tinction Of being the oldest family
and literary paper in America, if not
in the world. Originally established
by Benjamin Franklin IN 1928, and
appearing in its present character
in 1921, it has had an uninterrupted
career of 158 yearsl As its origlna-
tor, Franklin was one of the first
men Of his time, or any time, both
IN ability and eminence. The Post
has ever tried to follow its founder,
by carrying out during its whole
course of existence the best aims and
highest purposes of family news
paper. IN its management, conduct
and choice of reading material, USE
fulness, purity, morality, progress
and entertainment have always been
its watchwords and It's guides.
The history Of the Post is the his
tory of American literature and au.
thorship. Not to speak Of those who
previous to and after the War Of the
Revolution made it power IN the
land, since 1921 there is hardly a
writer famous in the world Of letters
whose works have not adorned its
pages. Among these may be men.
toned Horace Greeley, Dickens,
Mrs. Southworth, Poe, Halleck,
Bryant, T. s. Arthur, Ned Buntline,
Gilmore Simms, Ann S. Stephens,
Mrs. Henry Wood and others.
1t is no wonder then that the Post
claims the right 20 add to the glory
Of being the oldest family paper, the
even more honorable title Of also
being rHE BEST. Always In keeping

most entertaining, in a word, the
best in literature, it has never once
failed in its long career to go forth
as q weekly missionary into hum
dreds Of thousands Of the finest fam
lilies in all quarters Of the land, the
most welcome and cheerful Of visit
ors.
For the coming year the Post has
secured the best writers of this coun-
try and Europe, in prose and verse,
fact and fiction. In these respects
as in the past it will only have the
best. It's pages will be perfectly
free from the degrading and pollut-
ing trash which characterizes many
other so-called literary and family
papers. It gives more for the mon
ey, and Of better class, than any
other publication in the world. Each
volume contains, in addition to its
we'll edited departments, twenty five
frst-elass serials, and upwards Of
five hundred short stories. Every
dumber IS replete with useful inf0r-
nation and amusement, comprising
tales, sketches, biography, anec-
Totes, statistics facts, recipes, hints,
science, art, philosophy, manners.

sonaIs, news, wit and humor, histor-
ical essays, remarkable events, new
inventions, recent discoveries, and

relating to personal and home adorn-
ment, and domestic matters. To

says: "There were four Republic
